What is the equation of a circle with centre (3,4) and radius 4?

The general equation of a circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 where the centre is (a,b) and radius r.
Therefore the equation of this circle is (x-3)^2 +(y-4)^2 = 4^2 ...or 16
Sometimes its easie...

Find a vector that is normal to lines L1 and L2 and passes through their common point of intersection where L1 is the line r = (3,1,1) + u(1,-2,-1) and L2 is the line r = (0,-2,3) + v(-5,1,4) where u and v are scalar values.

We will use the cross product of these two vectors to help us find the perpendicular vector. The cross product works by finding a vector which has no effect on the position of a point with respect the the...

A tank contains 500L of salty water. Pure water is pumped in at a rate of 10 L/sec, and the the mixture is pumped out at a rate of 15L/ sec. If the concentration of salt is 5g/L initially, form an equation of amount of salt, s, at t seconds.

This is a word problem with the task of forming a first order differential equation (or DE), and involves two major aspects that need to be worked out: the volume of water in the tank at any given point, ...
